The Flood {And How YOU Can Help}

August 21, 2016 by Elaine

My feet made that wet, squishy sound as I entered the bedroom of my friend’s home last Monday, the carpet soaked through. That previous Saturday she and her family almost washed away with the flood waters that ravaged areas of Lafayette. Over three feet of water rushed through her living room and the rest of…

Tweet, Tweet

September 23, 2015 by Elaine

Do you still use Twitter? I do.  Although I’m not completely sure why.  I don’t think any of my blog traffic comes from there. I see most people using it for links to posts and lots of Instagram pictures.  Which I get, I tweet post links (not just mine) ALL THE TIME as well as most of…

I have seen this going around in the last few weeks so Nicole from Moments That Define Life and I figured we would make this the OSB topic this month.  That way, if you have already done it you can link up too!  If you have not done it, it is really a good one….

Tid Bits

September 19, 2014 by Elaine

Do ever get that kind of “naggy” feeling?  Like you have all these “little” things swirling around in your head and you’re not just quite sure where to start?  This happens to me sometimes.  This is part of the reason I have a few “to-do” lists on my desk.  And a paper calendar, along with…

Old School Blogging, Wrapping Up Summer

August 13, 2014 by Elaine

My boys went back to school today (and K starts on Monday!) so you know what that means right?  Even though technically, there is still over a month of Summer left, it’s over.  The lazy mornings and pool time and PJ days are a thing of the past.  Well, until next June anyway. And here’s…

Valentine’s Old School Blogging!

February 12, 2014 by Elaine

This month Tamara and I decided to go with the Love/Valentine’s theme for Old School Blogging.  We came up with the questions together but I have to give her full credit for the “Say Anything” one below, which I think is so great!  Tamara is a newer blog friend and I am SO glad I…

Princess on a Princess Bike

January 15, 2014 by Elaine

All of the kids got bikes this Christmas.  Santa was extra good to them.  He somehow knew that each of them needed new wheels.  And even delivered them to the house where they were staying in a different state.  Santa is amazeballs (do people still say that?) Anyway, the Princess of the house received well,…

A Trip Down Pregnancy Lane

June 24, 2013 by Elaine

When I look back on photos of me pregnant I smile.  But then I grimace a little too. I really liked being pregnant all three times.  Except towards the END. No, I was not a fan of the terrible “morning” sickness I had with B and my “Wall-E” feet that I had with K.  And…

To Wear or Not to Wear. There is NO Question.

October 5, 2010 by Elaine

I have been wearing my babies since the beginning of my mothering days. But I’m no expert. I just feel it is was a good way to keep my babies close and safe. Yes, I said SAFE. Because babywearing IS safe. I used to wear The B Man while I did dishes. Sometimes it was…
